Starting Evangelion 1.0 hope its as good as 2.0
HIGH FIVE
This was one thing that kind of annoyed me a bit about Sailor Moon. While I don't hate Yuichiro, whenever Rei needed some sort of romantic interest with some sort of emotional impact his character was brought to the forefront.
When an episode finished that used that type of plot line he was then pushed to the background never to be seen again until the next episode that wanted to use that type of plot line.
He went from being somewhat of an actual character in the first series to just being made into a plot device for those type of stories after that.
I haven't seen any fan art but I liked Meme better personally. She is the best super fun happy spaz aunt that I've encountered so far in anime.
You know she has a special relationship with her daughter when she picks her up by the legs, spins her around and then hurls her across the room so she gets lodged halfway through a doorway. All in the first episode!
Unfortunately, the mother daughter antics get less interesting after that. Although Meme definitely works as a one man show.
How can Himawari stand being around Sakurako when she is so useless and needs help. The next you know she will be cleaning Sakurako's ass whenever she takes a shit.

1.0 was pretty meh, imo. It was arguably necessary for what they were doing(the bait to 2.0's switch), but that doesn't make it much more enjoyable.
I believe it.

Quite liking Sword Art Online. Episode 4 seemed pretty filler though.
So if I gave Kannazuki no Miko a 7 and Yami a 10, does Guilty Crown have a chance?
Ai Nonaka (Meme's Seiyuu) did a really great job with her character I think. She's done the voice of a few other fan favorite characters too, like Kyouko in Madoka Magica.
This is as good a chance as any to post this short excerpt from her Otakon panel:
And bayoab's report of the full panel, if you're interested.
I really liked Kyokos voice in Madoka Magica so Ill keep an ear out for her in future roles.

This show...
Heh, that's interesting timing. Some interesting things in there, thanks.

Star Driver 11
Looking back at comments made when it aired, people got tired of Star Driver by this point!? I think it has been hitting its stride since episode one and been pretty good. I rather like the daytime and such bonding and interactions, and then the nighttime or so, Takuto v selected Kiraboshi member. Monochrome or whatever was the way better song for it, but Im starting to get into the new song, shes kind of good and its really catchy. Best moment
. Head and Sugata should talk more in the future, and hopefully Sugata joins the pool party next time, he missed out.

the entire fight, Takashi being in action again and actually putting pressure on Takuto in Tauburn almost made me think he was going to lose but fortunately Sugata rose to the occasion and supported him like any good friend would. That Kings Sword Tauburn mix was epic and actually so powerful it caused an explosion, wow.
Sugata is too cool for anything. He's just too BA.

Penguin Musume Heart 10
Shy eye-patch wearing maid girl is so goddamn moe~
That's what the 3DS needed, a track ball.

its possible that I may enjoy this tripe against all odds.
There is really only one way to find out.
Madness? THIS IS MUSUME!
The first episode was perfectly fine. It was the downward spiral afterwards....
I guess this means you like it
Tari Tari - 05
Man, this episode got really heavy with the feels. Glad they finally got around to developing Wakana more. Oh and:
Surfer mom making a move on Wakana?
I like a bit of emo drama in my anime.
Not too much but a little.
Should be fine.

Code Geass Nunnally in Wonderland
Schneizel x Kanon, canon otp? So many moments in this made me go , what even? At lot of it just gave feelings of nostalgia just because they essentially had everyone show up. Even more were the costumes, so many revealing outfits for the ladies (like Shirleys)...naked Rolo, and then dashing White Knight Suzaku for the win. Ending moment
. I like how they attempted to interject some moments relating back to the series canon plot in some of the things they did here
. It was fun seeing my favorites, Rolo, Suzaku, Lelouch again.
Animation was interesting, page turning effect was my favorite, which I wish was used more. The spinzaku as someone mentioned earlier today, was just plain weird. And I guess they had to give CC some love.
Ultimately its just an unforgettable experience and I think worth checking out.

Mad Hatter Lelouch was awesome, so cool it made me smile, his personality is perfect for it
like character traits for making a special zone, or wanting to rule the world with that fortress, etc

Was there any Pizza Hut?
So I was going through some of Madhouse's recent updates on their site about shit they worked on (it's really pathetic, it's mostly work for Persona games!), and I found something interesting.
Remember when Atsuko Ishizuka (one of Madhouse's more recent female directors) was announced as the director for JC Staff's Sakurasou? I wonder if the reason she left was because there simply isn't enough work at Madhouse for her to keep working. Her official site still lists that she's a Madhouse director, and her most recent gigs have been directing the Persona 4 Golden opening animation as well as the opening and intermission animations for all of Persona 4 Ultimate (fighting shit). She also did the intermission illustrations in the game, and it seems the promo illustrations for P4G and P4U credited under "Madhouse" as well.
Can't actually be a good sign when a big studio like Madhouse has to let their directors work on stuff like game animation and uncredited promo artwork instead. It's worse when said director is moving on to directing a TV series not produced by Madhouse.
If anyone is interested, her site is here: http://aaoxx.lolipop.jp/web/

Speaking of the Blue Exorcist movie... It appears that the official site has a Gallery of sorts they're updating regularly. It really gives off a strong Ghibli vibe (not surprising considering the director). It's pretty amusing to see a "Ghibli-style" shounen action movie. Hopefully the film lives up to the artwork...

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
By god that architecture is gorgeous!! :O
Ridiculously awesome. I would have bought two copies of it if someone licensed it.
D'awwwww
Yeah, Shinji Kimura is a really, really good art director. He does amazing backgrounds. Atsushi Takahashi is probably responsible for the general Ghibli-vibe in the direction though. He was an assistant director on Spirited Away after all.
I wouldn't mind someone sharing with me...

Those look very nice. At the very least, the film will be very pretty to look at even if it turns into a lovefest.

The top one just looks like a slightly more detailed design of the school there. If that's the case, it would be on Kazue.
Alright. If that's the way you want it!
